FWE(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual FWE(4) NAME fwe -- Ethernet emulation driver for FireWire SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device firewire device fwe Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): if_fwe_load="YES" DESCRIPTION The fwe driver provides non-standard Ethernet emulation over FireWire (IEEE 1394). firewire(4) and fwohci(4) must be configured in the kernel as well. This driver exploits asynchronous stream over IEEE 1394 to carry Ether- net frames. The stream channel can be specified by the hw.firewire.fwe.stream_ch sysctl(8). This driver supports polling(4) as well if it is compiled with the DEVICE_POLLING option. SEE ALSO arp(4), firewire(4), fwip(4), fwohci(4), netintro(4), ng_ether(4), polling(4), ifconfig(8), kldload(8), sysctl(8) HISTORY The fwe device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0. AUTHORS The fwe driver and this manual page were written by Hidetoshi Shimokawa. BUGS This driver emulates Ethernet in a very adhoc way and it does not re- serve a stream channel using an isochronous manager. Note that this driver uses a protocol which is very different from RFC 2734 (IPv4 over IEEE 1394). FreeBSD 13.2 July 16, 2005 FWE(4)
